Fortune Lost and won.

The fact has already been published IN the
Vir9i'aian that Mr. T. M. Benson, the popular
chief Clerk of the Old Dominion Steamship
Company at Newport News, was the fortu-
nate winner of the one-tenth of the capital
Prize ofsl50,00O in the recent grand drawing of
The Louisiana State Lottery. The press des-
patches had 1t that VIII. Landon, of Newport
News, had been the winner, and thereby
hangs the tale of how a respeetable fortune
had been lost and won. The particulars are
as follows; A party of five had individually
purchased tenth tick cts, in the November
drawing. Among the five was youth named
W. FL. Landon. and the tenth ticket he pur-
chased was II. All. After receiving his ticket
was more money in selling his ticket than
holding 1t, and he sold 1t to Mr.. Benson.
Mr.. Benson is regular subscriber to the
Norfolk "Virginian," and has always looked
upon 1t as a welcome svisitor, but never more

| of the lucky numbers in-the last dr. wing and
| saw that The ticket he held, No. 7i,4ll, was the

He is a married man, and with q loving wife

practical man. He placed his ticket in the
charge of the Home Savings Bank of Norfolk
| for collection, and quietly pursues the even

one dollar a month in The Louisiana State

FROM RICHMOND.
RICHMOND. VA. Dec. {

RICHMOND, VA, Lee. y, 1861.
The Assembly. consisting of good body
of sober men, is in fine spirits, in view OF the
recent decision of the Supreme Court, on
the coupon case, by which the State is left
in position to enforce the "Coupon Crush
er" and collect her revenue. Those who
rendered coupons in payment, and have not
paid their taxes in money, will do well to
make prompt moneyed payment and save
themselves the costs of suit, judgment, &c.
A very hopeful feeling now prevails of an
early settlement OF the harrassing debt
question. The caucus of the Democratic
members was very harmonious and dis
patched business rapidly. There were
changes in the nominations for some Of the
Offices, influenced more by the superior &C
tIvity of the successful candidates, than on
account of any objections to the incum-
bents. Instead of the cry, ''to the victors
belong the spoils," it is practically, "to the
workers belong the Offices" The message
of the Governor marks him q vigilant and
progressive Executive, but the desirable
objects, which he commends, must, some
of them be postponed, for want of funds to
effectuate them. A hopeful feeling in bust
ness prevails. RICHMOND.
